Steve, & Norm,
So long as government sees the children of its
citizens as nothing more than battle fodder, then good
men and women will ever become as salt to the earth with
their spilt blood.
You can bury a thousand men, and more than a few
will doff their hats; in but a century's time, they will be but a
faint memory. Today's woes overshadow yesterday's remorse,
and history is yet again repeated; it is all in the name of
'expedience', and the false prophets.
That the leadership of a nation would willingly spill
the blood of its youth in a spree of exuberance speaks of its
essence: evil incarnate. If you send one man to his untimely
death, it is spoken of as murder. But if you send thousands
to their untimely deaths, it is glory. Where is the justice in that?
